If you were to look up the term “boat anchor” in the dictionary you would most likely find a picture of a gun like this. With the exception of their plastic contoured grips, the WG revolvers are constructed completely out of metal giving them an abundantly hefty and realistic feel to them. Everything is metal right down to the fully adjustable rear sight. There is also a high level of detail to be found on these revolvers as even each shell has “Wingun 700” stamped into the shells rim.

Aside from looking and feeling realistic they also function just like a real double action revolver. It even has a working transfer bar! Push forward on the checkered release and the cylinder swings out for loading. Each shell is metal with a rubber tip which the BB is loaded into before being pushed into the revolvers open cylinder. The cylinders ejector also works just like the real one so it’s great for practicing your reloads. WG did integrate a safety mechanism into the cylinder release and engages by pushing back on it.

The WG 700 series revolvers are powered by a 12 gram CO2 cartridge which is loaded into the revolvers grip. The power generated from these high pressure cartridges enables the revolver to punch out shots which are equal in power to most high end sniper rifles and emits a nerve rattling bang. These revolvers are sadly not equipped with a hop up system yet due to their high power are still effective at a respectable distance. Because their muzzle velocities are so high it is strongly recommended to go with either .25g or .28g for the best accuracy.

Included with your revolver are six reusable shells, a revolver speed loader that functions just like the real one and two accessory rails which can be attached to either the top or bottom of the barrel for mounting a laser sight, flashlight or red dot sight.

WARNING: Due to inconsistent sizing in other co2 cartridges we strongly advise the use of the co2 cartridges listed below in the recommended items. Problems experienced with other cartridges can or may include failure to fully seat, puncture and or leaking from the mag. Any problems associated with the use of said co2 are not the fault of Shorty USA.

It's really getting annoying seeing 11 year olds looking at stats on a gun and putting in all caps BUY THIS GUN with a thousand !'s at the end. Read here and rejoice. Here's a review from someone who actually owns the gun.

-Unboxing/Contents-

This beauty comes in a box that is made for the longer barrel version. They're the same guns, so it fits perfectly. Just there's a little longer of a space between the tip and the box end. I almost went into cardiac arrest when i picked up this gun (in a good way, of course). You can tell that if you drop this gun, you're going to be just fine. I'll explain later on that. But included with the gun is a speed loader that is pretty easy and very helpful to use once you get the hang on how to use it. The speed loader is a circle just like the revolver cylinder and it'll hold the 6 shells, loaded and ready when you are. 6 shells are included as well which there really isn't much to say about. The rails I personally hate, they just make the gun look like a toy. Don't get me wrong, if you like them go ahead and use them. They'll work really well. But I don't like them.

-Looks/Feel/Cosmetics-

Take the orange tip off and hand it to a cop and he might mistake it for the real thing (Don't do it. Really, don't). Detail is impressive on this gun. Real steel scale here. The gun is built entirely of steel. Not cheap pot metal like you may think. The only plastic part is the grip which you really can't do anything with in terms of replacing it. I'm just going to go with it for now. The rest of the gun is incredible. The safety is integrated as the slide plate and so is the lock for the cylinder. This cleans things up a lot and gives easy access to everything.

-Power plant/Performance-

The "power plant" here is CO2...But hopefully you knew that. It's pretty easy to change out a cartridge for a new one. The grip is a little tricky to open and close. It still kind of trips me up when i'm opening it. You've got to be kind of careful closing it because you don't want to pinch the plastic. But anyway, I was very impressed that despite not having a hop-up, BB's would travel a good 90 feet. Now, you may think this isn't far. But if you take a tape measure to that, you'll be impressed. For a revolver with no hop-up, that's not bad at all. Some of you may be looking forward to it shooting 120 feet like some people say...no no. It's a revolver guys. As for CO2 consumption, it's so-so. Usually about 5 to 6 shell sets if not more. You should be good with a 20 pack of CO2 available here. As for accuracy, soda cans beware. With a good eye, within a few days practice, you'll be hitting man sized targets from about 80 feet. Get ready for some stinging. At 50 feet it'll rip a hole in the can. At more than that, you'll feel something but not as bad as up close. Single and double action firing can be used. Of course, it should be...It's a revolver =]

-Overall Evaluation-

Overall, this gun deserves a 4.5. But I'll have to go with a 4 star for now. I play frequently with this gun at many CQB situations as well as cops and robbers (who wouldn't look like a cop with a revolver?) Simply put, if you love revolvers, and you're not afraid to sacrifice a little on performance then boy you're in for a treat. Collectors will shed a tear for joy and so will revolver lovers.

I hope you're reading this review thinking 'hey, this actually helped and you won't take the advice from 11 year olds who take what Shorty says and re-write it. Good luck guys, and have fun with this beauty if you decide on purchasing this work of art like I ACTUALLY did.

This is one of the best airsoft revolvers I have ever shot. Blows the HFC out of the water. First of all, it uses the 12 gram CO2 cartridges, which are much cheaper and easier to find nowadays than green gas is. It also loads into the grip, which means none of those crappy little gas holding shells to refill. It comes with a speed loader, which is handy once you figure out the finer points of using one. The gun is pretty well balanced, and downright mean up close. All in all, this thing would make a great hideout gun and a decent secondary. Get extra shells if you have secondary in mind.

i got this gun at the beginning of the summer. when it came, i thought there had been a mistake cause i didn't see the orange tip. so i thought it was real. this gun's performance is perfect. i was doing an air-soft war and the opposing team was in my old tree house. little did they know that there was a gap between the fort and the tree. i put my sniper down and ran up to the tree. i aimed up and shot my friend .. they all started freaking out 'cause the didn't hear it (the gun is very quiet), or see me, and the fort is completely sealed except 2 cracks. this is a great buy get it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

PROS
range
FPS
sights
rails
metal

CONS
only 6 rounds
you have to use up all of the C02 (or let it leak out)
if the hammer isn't pulled back it's hard to fire (sorta)

it's a decent gun. not very good distance, decent fps. wastes little gas. and very good, realistic sidearm, but in an actual airsoft war, not so great. only 6 shots per round, and seems too nice to use in battle. i think of it more as a collectible or a fun gun to target practice with...

This is a great revolver. My friend just got it, and even though I thought it wasn't going to be especially good it turned out great! He shot me in the back with it at about 60ft and it hurt like hell. Accuracy isn't great though so I would suggest you use this if you're a sniper and someone gets real close.

Shred it
